Is this just for tractors or are classic American cars allowed too?

We'll be there with Ben's Fergy

Will you be at the stade from 4.30pm or is that the start of the run? My little one would love to see all the tractors so just trying to plan our visit 🚜

Well done you lot 👏. Got Tractor ready to come and support... Decided it was too wet 🌧️. Feeble excuse I would have been soaked before I got to Westfield.

I lost a key ring with 3 Lucas tractor keys and a blue bottle opener on

I sure I saw Barry P Clarke wearing that hat.

I left a black and white checked shirt which has sentimental value if thats something you found 🤞

I said it last year , and will say it again ...it is a privilege to work with these people and to be a part of it all. They are the best of folk...

Such a good Team, with plenty of Team Work.... Well Done 👏 xx

Well done to you all. You should all be very proud on what you have achieved in making the show such a great success.

I would like to add to that, if I may? I would like to say a huge, nay, a massive thank you to all the litter pickers, especially the lovely lady who was still at it on Monday morning and stopped for a good natter when we were striking camp in the upper military field. What a lovely lady. (Sorry we didn’t leave anything for you pickup! 🤭🤭)

The show was absolutely excellent this year, well done to everyone who made it happen
